CAMPUS OFF-CAMPUS LIVING Despite assurances, students encounter difficulties in new apartment complex By Emily.Eppens @iowastatedaily.com Copper Beech hasn’t delivered on its promises, students say. Copper Beech, a sister apartment complex to The Grove, began construction on new apartments this summer. Students were told that their new homes would be finished at the end of the summer semester. “They sold me lies, a whole bunch of lies,” said Thaddaeus Michel, freshman in microbiology. “I hope no one else moves here.” The buildings were not completed at the end of the semester, leaving the complex to pay for stu- dents’ board and rent in hotels until the buildings were finished. Students living in the complex also said they were dissatisfied with their apartments and the lack of amenities they were promised. “I thought I was getting a great deal — $580 for all this space, a big old pool they said they were going to have. It’s big and all, it’s just not what I was prom- ised,” Michel said. He also said that he will not con- sider living at Copper Beech next year when the pool Jonathan North/Iowa State Daily is supposed to be completed.

They won’t give me any explanation.” Michel said his rent is $580 while his roommate’s rent is $520 a month.

That morning, Mum had covered us one by one in udder ointment to protect us from the cold. It came out of a yellow Bogena tin and was normally used to prevent dairy cows’ teats from getting cracks, calluses and cauliflower-like lumps. The tin’s lid was so greasy you could only screw it off with a tea-towel. It smelled of stewed udder, the thick slices I’d sometimes find cooking in a pan of stock on our stove, sprinkled with salt and pepper. They filled me with horror, just like the reeking ointment on my skin. Mum pressed her fat fingers into our faces like the round cheeses she patted to check whether the rind was ripening. Our pale cheeks shone in the light of the kitchen bulb, which was encrusted with fly shit.

  • Parish Magazine – Christmas 2019
    THE APOSTLE Christmas 2019 Glen’s Foreword Recent Events As I recently mentioned in a sermon, we were fortunate enough to attend a performance of Les Miserables. Having seen this production more than once, I was struck afresh by the gritty themes of justice, compassion and grace set against a backdrop of desperation that was 19th Century France; it's ability to provide insights after so many viewings demonstrates its quality and character as an enduring story. In the same way, as we turn our focus towards Christmas, the narratives of Jesus' birth give new insights at every reading. However, beyond literary themes for contemplation, these accounts record the statements and events which reveal the pinnacle of God's engagement with humanity in order to bring salvation for everyone. Jesus Christ, born to Mary, is proclaimed to be God in the flesh and the one who will establish a In this issue kingdom of peace and justice.

  • How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
    How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich RayLynn Smith !1 Table of Contents Chapter 1: History 3-4 Chapter 2: Steps 5-6 Chapter 3: Steps cont. 7-8 Chapter 4: Different sandwiches 9-10 Chapter 5: Fun Facts 11 Glossary 12 Works Referenced 13 Standards 14 University of Idaho License 15 !2 History Some people think that it has been around forever because it is so simple to make, but really all of this had to be discovered before we could put them together. All of these ingredients had to be discovered. Bread was just a loaf, not sliced. In 1912 a man by the name Otto created a device that sliced bread, but bakers did not want it because they did not think people would want their bread sliced. Then in 1927, he recreated the slicer to make it better and this is when the saying “the greatest/best thing since sliced bread”. !3 Jelly, jam, or other fruit preserves, have been around for a long time. Mr. Welch developed jam in 1918 and would provide it for the troops during WWI. When the troops arrived back home they showed everyone how you can spread it on bread. Peanut butter is the same. It has been around for a long time, and a lot longer than you think. It was created by the Incas and Aztecs. In the early 1900s peanut butter made its appearance in rich people’s homes and was used with cucumbers, cheese, celery, and crackers. The first known reference of a sandwich came to the surface in 1901.
